It's not uncommon for any of us to thank God under our breath when things are going well (#blessed). It is equally common to find ourselves talking to God when we are asking God for something we want (wisdom, a job, or safety for our children). But what happens when we are angry with God or others, or when we are experiencing feelings of anxiety, guilt, or grief. This is often when our prayers go silent. But God stands ready to hear us and attend to us in all circumstances.
